Healing...Slowly

Today is my first day back at work. Who knew that sitting upright in my chair would be a challenge? Still working on healing. I'd say I am at about 85%. Still a slight bit of pain/discomfort and my stamina is quite short, but I am coming back little by little. The scale gave me 219, which I think I can live with. I know I have my eating under control, now I just need to work on adding the exercise back in. It's is a constant effort! But worth every moment.

Wow...it's been too long to remember. LOL I would say this one is a little harder, but only because the remaining pain/discomfort is in the region when the gallbladder was removed--the internal part still aches. But the rest of the laprascopic stuff is the same. One thing I noticed this time was that I did not have the pain from the gas used during surgery to fill your abdomen--that was killer last time. Good question to ponder. :)

About Me

I'm Cheryl, a 40 year-old who has changed her life through lap-band surgery--but is a constant work in progress. I had lapband surgery on December 15, 2009. In the first year after surgery I lost 67 pounds post-op and a total of 104 at one point, since my high of 303 in June 2009. I've regained some, so here we are in 2012 and I am working toward some of my goals to be under 200 pounds (again!)and be at a healthy BMI (still working on that). I am a working on making a better me both physically and emotionally!
